  • a mixture was prepared from 7.5 g (9.5 mmole) of 9-deoxy-9a-methyl-2'-O-acetyl-9a-aza-9a-homo- erythromycin A, 5.5. g (28 mmole) of N-ethyl-N'-(N,N-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide and 6.7 ml (95 mmole) of dimethyl sulfoxide in 75 ml of dichloromethane. To this mixture was then added, dropwise, with stirring, during 3 minutes, 5.5 g (28 mmole) of pyridinium trifluoroacetate. The temperature rose to 39°C. and then returned to room temperature.
  • the title compound can be prepared by repeating Example 7, but replacing the acetic anhydride used in Part A by an equimolar amount of propionic anhydride.
  • the title compound was prepared in 40% yield by reaction of 9-deoxo-4"-deoxy-4"-beta-amino-9a-aza-9a-homoerythromycin A with the mixed anhydride prepared from 2-(4-aminophenyl)acetic acid and isobutyl chloroformate, using the procedure of Example 14.
  • the concentrated filtrate was then poured with stirring into a mixture of 250 ml of water and 200 ml of chloroform, and the pH of the aqueous layer was adjusted to 5.4.
  • the organic layer was removed and discarded and the aqueous layer was further extracted with chloroform at pH 5.4.
  • the further extracts were discarded.
  • the pH of the aqueous phase was adjusted to 9.6 and then the aqueous phase was extracted with chloroform.
  • the latter extracts were dried (Na 2 S0 4 ) and then concentrated in vacuo to give 5.74 g of a white foam.
  • the foam was dissolved in 35 ml of hot isopropanol, and the solution was allowed to cool to room temperature with stirring.
  • the solid which had formed was recovered by filtration and dried, to afford 3.54 g of 4"-deoxy-4"-alpha-amino- erythromycin A, contaminated with 5-10% of its 4"-epimer.
  • the proportion of 4"-beta-amino epimer can be reduced by successive recrystallizations from isopropanol.
